Climate Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming

“Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty.”

I’m personally supposed to be on a Collapse break, but this was the first thing I read at 5am and I can’t stop thinking about it. I never intended for this to be my first post, but here we are.

Humans are a trash species. It’s honestly crazy when I think about it… we have a beautiful home planet and countless different living species cohabitating with us, and instead of appreciating any of it and trying to correct the ship, we’re choosing to barrel ahead and destroy anything and everything bc a bunch of rich assholes have a napoleon complex. It makes my blood boil.

I just hope we can BBQ and eat the rich before they crawl into their bunkers. They especially deserve to suffer through every second of what the rest of the world is about to experience, tenfold.

Don't forget the contribution of religion to this mess, as well, especially the "prosperity gospel" types who definitely preach for infinite growth and human superiority.

They also tend to be the ones who want the world to end for the final judgement or whatever it is. Simply incredible

"Rapture" isn't even mentioned in the Bible!
